Road closures: The Dubai Tour cycling returns from Tuesday

The Dubai Tour returns this week, bringing incredible sporting spectatorship opportunities, but also road closures across the UAE.

A combination of careful preparation and the tight race-packed nature of the races means that closures will only be brief. Each section of road affected will be shut for periods of about 45 minutes – one hour between 6th-10th February

The scheduled closures begin at 10am on each of the five days and conclude at about 3.30pm, with each section closed and then opened sequentially along the route. This diagram below shows where’s going to be shut and when.
